Lucky 13: Healthcare & Wellness Products at NeoCon 2015

June’s
NeoCon
, at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, drew more than 50,000 visitors, a 5 percent increase from last year. Also on the rise was the amount of companies getting a toehold in the healthcare and wellness sectors. Just about every manufacturer who produces a table or desk—think
Steelcase
,
KI
,
Humanscale
—presented height-adjustable versions. The usual suspects—
Wieland
,
Carolina
,
Krug
—had healthcare introductions, but there were new names to the game, too, such as
Arborite
and
Okamura
, the latter, along with
Herman Miller Healthcare/Nemschoff
, even designing hospital vignettes in their showrooms.
